    That’s fine, less waste being generated. People don’t buy new phones because of the shitty economy and thanks to phones being so fast now (8 gen 2’s GPU is basically desktop GTX1050 class)

      Maybe this comparison is an exaggeration, as the Steam Deck GPU is also widely compared to a GTX 1050 in horsepower, which in turn seems substantially more powerful than a SD 8 Gen 2.

    I’m running a 3 year old flagship phone (As it happens an iPhone). It’s still blazing fast, still has great cameras, still got the latest os and the battery health is still in the high-80s percentage range which is plenty for a days use. I don’t see any compelling reason at all to change my phone (more compelling is a £60 battery replacement when the battery does start to fail to win another years life) and I bet many others like me are in the same boat.
